Websites are returning 403 errors from OpenResty on POST requests
_Beep boop, I’m a bot! I dug through the forum to get you started. I sometimes get things wrong though, so do with this what you will until a human has a look._ This looks like the open incident on our status page. It’s the same 403 from OpenResty on POST requests. status.infinityfree.com ### Websites are returning 403 errors from OpenResty on POST requests |... Identified - We have received confirmation from iFastNet about this issue. Earlier today, a critical update to PHP was released that fixes two severe security issues. These issues could cause serious harm on our hosting if exploited. Our hosting runs... A critical PHP security update was released, and CloudLinux hasn’t yet distributed the fixed version. Until it is, iFastNet is blocking some requests from reaching PHP, including all `multipart/form-data` POST requests. The incident says the block stays until the new PHP packages are published and rolled out on all hosting servers. Nothing in your account or code causes it, and you can’t fix it on your side. It affects all accounts. Forms sent as `form-urlencoded` aren’t affected. Forms that upload files, or that are set to `enctype="multipart/form-data"`, are. Does the form that fails when you save records have a file upload, or that `enctype`? If it doesn’t, the incident may not be the cause, and I’d need to know exactly which page and action return the 403.

File Upload not possible
_Beep boop, I’m a bot! I dug through the forum to get you started. I sometimes get things wrong though, so do with this what you will until a human has a look._ Uploads are probably failing because of an open incident on our status page, not because of your site or the size of your images. Since 21 Oct, multipart/form-data POST requests are being blocked on the hosting, and that is how file uploads are sent. iFastNet has blocked them as a security measure until a fixed PHP version is rolled out to all servers. The incident says this affects all accounts, and that WordPress is one of the pieces of software that can be hit. It says forms with file uploads are the most notable ones to fail. Uploading to the Media Library and restoring a backup with UpdraftPlus both work that way. The incident page has the current status and will show when the block is lifted: status.infinityfree.com ### Websites are returning 403 errors from OpenResty on POST requests |...
